A group of federal agencies recently released an updated set of guidelines, called the #StopRansomware Guide, to help healthcare organizations protect themselves from ransomware attacks and the data breaches that often follow. The organizations’ recommendations address the six major ways that bad actors gain access to providers’ systems:
- Internet-facing vulnerabilities and misconfigurations,
- Compromised credentials,
- Phishing,
- Precursor malware infection,
- Advanced forms of social engineering, and
- Third parties and managed service providers.
